Great Case

Great Case. Not much different than others, but it provides a cushion for the Pixel, a raised edge around the front glass to prevent scratches, protects the glass surrounding the finger sensor on the back, and feels good in the hand. PLUS it has the Smart Case function for Google Earth. This is an app that changes the background screen picture on a schedule you select. The picture it selects is some small section of the Earth that presents an interesting pattern or shape. You can press a slightly raised button on the case and it will open Google Earth and zoom into that same location. It's fun to guess where the location is. As you zoom out it puts it in context and you can keep guessing. Fun, if you've got a minute to spend playing with the maps. If not, it still presents a fresh background each day (my setting).

Pretty case, subpar protection, iffy button

I purchased this case on sale ($25). I probably wouldn't pay more for it.
On the surface it's a beautiful case with a neat programmable button, but in reality it's kind of disappointing.
It lacks the protection of a normal case, leaving the top and bottom sides of the screen exposed. Within two weeks of owning this case, I cracked my screen due to an impact on an unprotected area.
The button is not responsive enough. The pressure needed to engage it requires two hands on the device - not the simple reach-around you would expect from a rear button.

Excellent thin & attractive case for Pixel XL

Ordered this case because I had the previous custom cases for the 6P and this one looked super nice in photos. I'm glad to report that in person, it looks even better. The feel of the case is akin to a matte-style case, but is a bit more slippery than a standard matte case. I don't think it's a dealbreaker, but it definitely is not "grippy". Having said that, I love the feel.
The side of the case does not distort the image like the other Live Case Editions cases do. It's a wonderful case and having cutouts for the power button and volume buttons does wonders.

Love the case. The live backgrounds that come with are absolutely beautiful. Have had it for 5 months now, as many times as I've dropped my phone, no damages to the phone. all 4 corners of the case have a crack in it, but still gets the job done. Wish it would cover the top and bottom edges for those have a few knicks on them.

I bought this case for the integration with Google's live wallpapers. Unfortunately the integration is fairly weak with only a few customizations available. I must say on the other hand it has protected my phone much much better than I thought it would. I have dropped it five times without a scratch on it.

The Live wallpaper with NFC chip in cover is a total gimmick, but it's a solid case. I have concerns about rigidity taking it on and off, but with how slippery the Pixel / Pixel XL is, you need a good case like this one.

It may be a nice looking case, but fails a at actually protecting the phone. dropped my phone from no more than 3 feet with the case on and the screen cracked in 2 places. Would not recommend this case if you want to protect your phone.

The case itself is different but the barely noticeable button on the back is where it separates itself. You can customize it to your favorite app
